Located along the banks of the Columbia River, the large unit is almost entirely private with approximately only 25,000-acres out of the 190,000-acres open to public hunting on small pieces of BLM, state, and WDFW private land. Most of the public land is found along the steep Columbia River breaks, upstream from Browns Canyon. You will definitely need to use your GPS here, as these chucks are oddly shaped with limited public access points. Dryland farming represents the bulk of the land, and just about every portion that is flat enough has been plowed. The unit is relatively flat, losing the majority of elevation in the last mile and a half to the river’s edge. Deer densities are low and they are spread across the unit, however, some large old bucks are usually taken each season. Hunters with private land access have a chance at an excellent mule deer hunting experience. There are a few whitetails here, mainly along the river and irrigated crop edges. There are no elk in this unit.

This unit consists of many plowed fields, making it tough to hunt.
